For all of you with Resident Services too close to the airport

[Serabee]

That's so cute, great job! I feel you, mine is also pretty close to the airport (although not quite as close as yours). I've never really figured out what to put in between them, but this helps. I had a road but i'm in the process of redoing my entire island.

Yah, I thought mine was as close as it gets, but it seems OP beat me by a tile I personally like not having TOO much space. I've seen people with big, long pathways to their RS... which look nice, but they just feel like they take up a lot of space to me.

It looks great! I wouldn't have thought it was an issue at all if I saw these without context.

Very nice, natural decoration! It's making me even more excited for fall!

Anyway, I liked how it gave me the ability to keep the most developed part of my island up front and center. The further away you get, for the most part, the more "wild" my island gets (with the exception of a small cafe and hot spring in the back). The shops are directly to the right of the RS plaza, and the museum is a bit behind them. To the left is a marketplace (at the point of these pics, a neighborhood) and a playground. I just love how it lets me separate areas this way ☺

This is how I set my island up, as well - heavily developed near the airport, moving back to more rural, less developed as you head toward the back.

My airport is right in front of the Nooklings' shop, which is next to RS. It makes it easy to come back from trips and hit my shops, or to let people who come over check on what's for sale.

Very nice! I love the waterfall and the cliffs in back, as well as the pretty roses lining the paths~

This looks really good, as does OP's. My Resident Services is 6 steps from the airport as well, exactly like yours. I liked it at first, then disliked it, but now I'm liking it again as I mess around with decorations/paths/fences. I particularly like the bushes in yours, I might have to try that out!

Yah, in addition to liking how it looks, I also love the convenience! When people stop by and ask if they can visit my shops I'm like sure- no problem! They're right over here

As soon as I picked my island, I KNEW I'd have a lined path going up to RS. Originally I used flowers, but as soon as bushes were announced, my first thought was "THOSE ARE PERFECT FOR MY ENTRANCE"

Mine isn't that close, but I saw the title and had to check it out because I'm struggling with an entrance of my own.

Sometimes, it is more important what you do with what you have.

In “New Leaf,” I had more than one town in which a pond was immediately south of the Train Station. One way I made it work was have bushes separating that pond from the tiling of the Train Station. It worked out.

The original post shows a good example of making something, which may not seem appealing, work out,
